Vaibhav Suryavanshi turns Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii dream into IPL reality
If you thought Bollywood dreams stay on the big screen, think again.Vaibhav Suryavanshi just proved that sometimes, life does hand you a bat — and the magic too.The parallels between Vaibhav's epic IPL 2025 breakout and the 2007 cult cricket film Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii are so wild, it's almost spooky. And honestly, with social media bursting with memes comparing Vaibhav to the film's young hero Karan (played by Zain Khan), it's impossible not to get swept up in the giddy nostalgia.guys did u know chain kulli ki main kulli is actually based on vaibhav suryavanshi— noor (@wiesburden) April 28, 2025advertisement
Because here's the crazy part — the ages match up too! In the movie, Karan was a 13-year-old orphan who stunned the world with his cricketing prowess after finding his 'lucky bat'.| RR vs GT Coverage - Scorecard |Vaibhav? He was 13 when Rajasthan Royals picked him up at the auction for Rs 1.1 crore and had just turned 14 when he smashed his way into history books. I've seen 'Chain Kulii ki Main Kulii' more than IPL matches. But today had to watch the highlights to see Vaibhav Suryavanshi turn a fantasy film into a documentary. Goosebumps to witness something like this vicariously. Someone turning a collective childhood dream into reality.— Besan ka Halwa (@vikramgrawol) April 28, 2025Now if that's not a movie script writing itself, what is? His breathtaking 101 off just 38 balls against Gujarat Titans on April 28 wasn't just another innings; it was the stuff of dreams — and movies.Guys, have you noticed?Vaibhav Suryavanshi doing some crazy "Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii" magic!#ipl2025 #vaibhavsuryavanshi pic.twitter.com/f8wE1dpXmv— Mihir Patel (@mihirdhp) April 28, 2025advertisementIn Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii, Karan strolls onto the cricket field like he owns it — fearlessly smacking bowlers twice his size and ten times his experience. Swap reel with real, and you have Vaibhav Suryavanshi walking out against Gujarat Titans, smashing seasoned veterans like Ishant Sharma for 28 runs in an over, and dispatching a 90m six off Mohammad Siraj — off his first ball!The kid didn't just play; he lit up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium and pretty much the whole of cricket Twitter. Fans instantly made the connection — Vaibhav was living every 2000s kid's fantasy from Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii.The posts, memes, and gushing tweets haven't stopped since he cracked a blistering 101 off 38 balls, becoming the youngest player ever to score a T20 hundred.Chain kuli ki main Kuli real version #vaibhavsuryavanshi pic.twitter.com/OMGOysDqCU— Gaurav purohit (@gpurohit41) April 28, 2025And he didn't just make records tumble — he pulled Rajasthan Royals out of a five-match losing rut, inspiring an 8-wicket win over a red-hot Gujarat Titans side. Not bad for a guy who was supposed to be a temporary stand-in for an injured RR skipper, Sanju Samson.Little did anyone know, it would soon turn into a masterstroke. Even cricket legends joined the hype train. Shaun Pollock called it "the greatest individual IPL performance ever".advertisementIn Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii, Karan learns that the magic was never really in the bat — it was always inside him. Watching Vaibhav hammer seasoned bowlers across Jaipur, you could almost hear the same message: 'the magic's not in the kit, kid — it's in the heart.'As RR prepare for a tough showdown against Mumbai Indians, the spotlight is back on the teenager who made fiction feel real. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has already given IPL 2025 its most feel-good, movie-script moment yet.Can he keep the fairytale alive? Whether Vaibhav Suryavanshi's career follows the same heartwarming arc as Karan's story or carves its own new path, one thing is certain — IPL 2025 has gifted the cricketing world a moment that feels like it was plucked straight out of a childhood dream.Must Watch

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' advance box office report Day 1: Aamir Khan's drama to open with Rs 6.88 crore; Trails behind ‘Laal Singh Chaddha'
Aamir Khan 's return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par has generated considerable buzz, but early figures suggest a quiet opening compared to his previous films. The emotional drama, directed by R.S. Prasanna, has recorded advance booking sales of approximately Rs 6.88 crore for its opening day, according to These numbers fall short of expectations and well below the Rs 11.70 crore opening of Khan's 2022 film Laal Singh Chaddha. According to data from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film has sold over 1.15 lakh tickets across 9,542 shows nationwide ahead of its theatrical release on June 20. The bulk of the earnings has come from the Hindi version, which accounts for Rs 3.18 crore through 9,037 shows and 1.03 lakh tickets. The Tamil version has contributed Rs 2.73 lakh across 163 shows, while the Telugu version brought in Rs 9.84 lakh from 342 shows. The total advance figures, including revenue from blocked seats, push the cumulative total to Rs 6.88 crore. Unconventional Release Strategy In a surprising move, the makers have adopted a staggered show format for release day. A revised communication sent to exhibitors earlier this week outlines strict scheduling restrictions for Friday, June 20. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Miles de familias están usando este calefactor para no pasar frío en casa EcoHeat Undo No shows are to be screened before 11 AM, and theatres are allowed a maximum of four screenings between 11 AM and 6 PM. Post 6 PM, normal screening schedules may resume. These guidelines, however, are limited to the release day alone — from Saturday, June 21, standard programming will be reinstated. The decision to delay early morning screenings and cap afternoon shows appears to be a strategic attempt to create controlled demand and concentrate audiences during peak hours. However, industry insiders believe this may have affected day-one revenue potential. Box Office Projections and Industry Response Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, in a statement to ETimes, commented that Sitaare Zameen Par may witness a slow start at the ticket windows but could pick up momentum with strong word-of-mouth. Still, the film's day-one earnings place it among Khan's lower openers in recent years. While Laal Singh Chaddha debuted at Rs 11.70 crore despite mixed reviews, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to remain under Rs 8 crore for its opening day, even with late-hour screenings. Comparatively, Taare Zameen Par, Khan's 2007 directorial debut with a similarly emotional theme, opened at Rs 2.62 crore but went on to become a sleeper hit through strong word-of-mouth and critical acclaim. Whether Sitaare Zameen Par can mirror that long-tail success remains to be seen.

Tejasswi Prakash on working with boyfriend Karan Kundrra: ‘We are just too expensive'
Actor Tejasswi Prakash wants people to focus on her work and passion for acting, but she is not bothered by the extra scrutiny on her personal life, especially her relationship with Karan Kundrra. And when break-up reports surface, the couple simply laughs them off. Also read: Karan Kundrra remembers first meeting with Tejasswi Prakash's parents: 'They are very sweet and simple' Tejasswi recently appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and has already begun working on a new fiction project. Prior to the reality show, she was seen in Naagin 6. According to her, the shift between fiction and non-fiction projects is just a coincidence. 'It is right that my work graph has turned out to alternate between fiction and non-fiction. But it was never planned like that. But I feel like that it is a good way of going about it,' says Tejasswi. 'I love it when people like me for the person I am. And it is a lot better when they actually have a sense of the fact that I'm just not a celebrity whom they like. I'm also an artist, and I don't ever want people to forget that. I actually want people to remember me for my art and my love for acting,' adds the actor, who recently walked the ramp in Delhi as part of the hair show by Godrej Professional while unveiling The Surreal Collection. Apart from her work, Tejasswi often makes headlines for her relationship with Karan, with fans even coining the term 'Tejran' for the couple. The Tejasswi-Karan romance keeps the media buzzing with varying reports: some days there are reports around them planning to get married, some days it is about them uniting for a project, and some days reports state that they have parted ways. 'I know that there is a lot of focus on my personal life... But I don't think the entire focus is just on that.... We do get a lot of love together, but Karan is also independently doing his projects, and I am also doing mine independently. I don't think that it has affected us in terms of work,' says the actor, who met Karan on Bigg Boss 15 and fell in love on the show. "In fact, I feel people crave to see us together. But we are just too expensive (together),' she quips. Ask her about the constant buzz around their breakup, Tejasswi shares, 'I know our fans keep themselves entertained. And that's fine. I'm okay with that. We find it funny. We actually laugh at it'. Ask her if they are planning to get married anytime soon, Tejasswi says, 'No, that's not the plan'. While Tejasswi has started work on her next project, she is not in a position to share anything about it. But the prep mode is already on. 'Honestly, the goal that I am working towards right now is losing some weight for my next project. That's literally the only thing I am working towards. When it comes to work, I want to focus on acting as well. But we can't really decide what's next for us as we do whatever's offered next. It's pretty much that,' she ends.
